Varanasi (Banares) II

We were in Varanasi three times in late February and March of 2014 as we shuttled between it and the Buddhist holy places of Lumbini, Bodhgaya, and Kushinagar. Here are some more highlights of our time there. I have divided the photos into two pages. The others are at Varanasi (Banares) I.

The Happy Swami (Swami Anubhavananda). He was the immediate cause for us coming to Varanasi. We had seen him in Kaivalyadhama on another visit to India and wanted to see and hear him again. Slight problem: he spoke mostly in Hindi here. (24 Feb 2014)Back to top
